Armenia violates ceasefire with Azerbaijan 30 times within 24 hours

Armenian armed forces have broken ceasefire with Azerbaijan 30 times in different positions in the last 24 hours, Azerbaijan's defense ministry said on Oct.29.

Armenian armed forces, located near the villages of Yusifjanli, Shikhlar, Bash Gervend, Kengerli of Aghdam district, Kuropatkino of Khojavend district, Ashagi Veyselli, Horadiz, Garakhanbeyli of Fizuli district opened fire at the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces.

Azerbaijani positions also took fire from the positions located at the nameless heights of Khojavend, Fizuli and Jabrayil districts.

The opposing side was silenced with return fire.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented four U.N. Security Council resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
